The Wolf Roams the World: Lord of the Ruins

In the seventh year of the Republic, at Biaoziling in Changsha.

My grandfather was an heir to the craft of tomb raiding, and that time he took the three of us brothers into a tomb.

The tomb was filled with gold, silver, and jade. The strangest thing was a bronze coffin bearing the inscription, "The resting place of the late husband, Lord Chen Qingyun."

My second brother cried out, "Why is Grandpa's name carved here?"

When I reached out to touch the inscription, the entire ancient tomb suddenly shook. From inside the coffin came the sound of fingernails scraping against bronze.
